After the first goal, Everton haven't competed.

 

another much needed 3 points!

 

Lingard gonna score tonight. C'mon lad.

 

Clear as day handball not given and ended up resulting in a free kick against the team that committed it. How is someone not in the refs ear saying stop this shit, that needs overturning.

It led to nothing, but it's infuriating

 

West Ham in the Champions League?

 

Just watched the Lingard goal. I have to applaud the Leeds defender for pointing at the ball like he got anywhere near it in an attempt to fool the ref.

 

The true footballing highlight of the day:

So who’s taking over at Liverpool?

 

Didn't a Liverpool legend just break a Scottish monopoly?

 

Somehow, this was a goal on a first touch shot lmao

 

What an observation. Somehow I completely missed that.

 

With the constant feeling that football is changing, and not for the better, this was actually a nice read. Some great facts in there, like Nuno donating £250,000 to the local area, Spurs donating £100,000 to the NHS, and Arsenal making £500,000 meals for those in need.

Clubs should be a bigger part of their communities.

 

Looks like Juve are going out. Porto's goalkeeper is having a blinder.

 

I spoke far too soon. Juve have scored and Porto have gone down to 10 men since my post.

 

Haaland us just unreal. If he comes to City they could dominate for years.

 

I hope Porto pulls this off somehow.

 

These last few minutes omg

Incredible job Porto.

 

So am I right in saying that Juventus won, drew, and lost their game last night?

That makes sense I guess

 

All round one of the best Liverpool performances I've ever seen. Casillas literally came off in tears that night.

 

This is kinda from nowhere. Is this us basically hiring a DoF, splitting the job and calling it something else?

 

Pretty much. Seems we’re splitting the role reducing the duties of both just to placate fans lol

Murtough is an internal appointment, been with us for years. Actually seems he’s directly reporting into Ed now.

 

Matt Judge has been sorta demoted too, to being "Head of Negotiation" and reporting to Murtough. Feels like the typical United way of doing things though - hiring from within and basically just having a mini shake up, rather than hiring someone experienced to come in and make big changes.

 

Yeah it does, but sure it might work. At least the structure is a bit more football orientated than it was, which is a good thing. Murtough seemingly has a good CV and was heavily involved in the Mejbri signing. Judge had no real right being involved in footballing decisions in the first place, so him being somewhat removed from that aspect is good news to me.

hopefully we can actually fucking sign Sancho now. We would be set on the right if James can keep up his form and we managed to get Sancho in. As much as centre forward is an issue we’re still heavily lopsided and lacking someone who can perform on the right.

 

Totally agree. Doing anything is better than doing nothing. Our scouting and recruitment has been miles better recently, so putting a formal structure in place to better support it has got to be a good thing.

Glad they've done it now too, rather than waiting till July or some shit. Hopefully everything can be in place ready to hit the ground running soon as the window opens.

 

god I fucking hate united "fans"
